The magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff
You may know him as Will Smith's dj or as the head of A Touch of Jazz productions or as the guy who Uncle Phil used to physically throw out of the house in Bel Air. Well I know DJ Jazzy Jeff as one of the most influential djs in Philadelphia and in hiphop music all together. With his constant world touring, soulful music production, and ever increasing discography (The Return of the Magnificent just dropped a few months ago), Dj Jazzy Jeff continues to be just as relevant (if not more so) to today's music scene as he was in the 80's.
It's not often that he plays gigs in his hometown, but this Friday March 21st you can catch him at Fluid Nightclub (613 S. 4th St.). The event is called DJ Jazzy Jeff & Friends, and as the name suggests, he has some of his talented friends joining in to add their special flavor to the mix. Alongside Jeff on the turntables will be DJ Active and DJ Excel of Scratch Makaniks. Also, hiphop mc Skillz (formerly Mad Skillz) will be hosting. Sounds like a good way to spend a Friday night.
